Hi, attached syslinux-1.75 ebuild. 
 
 About:   
SYSLINUX is a boot loader for the Linux operating system which operates off of   
MS-DOS floppies. It is intended to simplify first-time installation of Linux,   
rescue disks, and other uses for boot floppies. A SYSLINUX floppy can be   
manipulated using standard MS-DOS (or any other OS that can access an MS-DOS   
filesystem) tools once it has been created, and requires only a ~ 8K DOS   
program or ~ 16K Linux program to create it in the first place. It also   
includes PXELINUX, a program to boot off a network server using a boot PROM   
compatible with the Intel PXE (Pre-Execution Environment) specification,   
ISOLINUX, a program to boot off ISO 9660 CD-ROMs in native mode, and MEMDISK,   
a tool to boot legacy operating systems (e.g. DOS) using a Linux boot loader   
regardless of medium.    
  
I suggest sys-apps/syslinux as grub and lilo (other bootloaders) are placed  
there. This ebuild depends on nasm.
